LESS ASTHMA DUE TO LESS SMOKING

A lot of kids have less asthma, because fewer Canadian parents are smoking. Two years ago 70% of children got asthma due to their parents’ smoking. This year the charts say that 60% of children are getting less asthma but there’s still 40% of parents that are still smoking in Canada. That means that only 40% of kids are getting asthma due to smoking parents. One of the reasons that kids are getting less asthma is because parents can’t smoke in the car with children. Also, people can’t smoke in restaurants and buses, which makes it nice for the other adults and children on the bus.
